Before we begin, a brief reminder, Saturday Friday (I need a Sonic Screwdriver to get un-unstuck in time) is Singles Day. No, it’s not the day you pretend you are not married! It’s the 11.11 Singles Shopping Day, the one that got started in Asia and took over the world. So prepare (your e-wallets) for some shopping temptations on that day!
